JBR-peckham Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hi all - we signed up to the UK Gov 'Homes for Ukraine Scheme', and have matched with a mother and her 4-year-old son. Forms submitted, and we are 99% sure that it will happen, perhaps in ~3 weeks from now. We live on Avondale Rise just off Bellenden Rd. We are keen to know others who are bringing in Ukrainian guests, especially those with kids. - Might be helpful to share experiences in getting things set up, and discussing interactions with Southwark council. Visas / travel / home inspections / helping to find employment / joining schools etc.- And once our guests arrive, I think they may like to meet people who have been through a similar experience. Are there others in the area who are hosting? If you pm me with phone number - I can setup a WhatsApp groupJoel and Elsa Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307184-hosting-family-from-ukraine-others/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

02kendall Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi Joel/Elsa,We have a 19 year old girl who is living with us. She is settling in very well and has just got a job in a nursury which is great. My concern is that she is quite lonely and she would like to meet other ukranians and make some friends. Do you know if there is a group for people looking to meet each other in London? Thanks!

IlonaM Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm unable to host unfortunately, but here are a couple of websites for the Ukrainian community which might be of interest:https://ukrainianlondon.co.uk/https://ukrainianinstitute.org.uk https://www.facebook.com/augblondon/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/307184-hosting-family-from-ukraine-others/#findComment-1583362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBR-peckham Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi Claudia. Yes, there are a few things going on nearby, as well as across London. Send me a private message with your phone number and I can add you to a WhatsApp group with 4-5 others in Peckham / Dulwich who are hosting. Our guests are a 40yo and 4yo, so probably not what your 19yo is looking for, but I think two others in the WhatsApp group have guests who are a similar age to your guest.

Dogkennelhillbilly Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have been told that the Dulwich Foundation Schools are organising Ukrainian coffee mornings in Dulwich on a weekly basis. Sign up below. Obviously attendees don't need to have an existing connection with Dulwich or the schools!
